I have tried to explain my problem the best I know how. I’ll try again.

1. I think my menu is supposed to be above the logo and not below it.
2. When I have only 2 or 3 menu items in the Main Menu enable, those two menu items are above the logo.
3. When I have several menu items enabled, all of them move below my logo.

I am now having what I have been told by a developer of a component, I am having a problem with dropdown menus not functioning because of js.compatibility. (I’m clueless)

I have tried 3 forum components and when they are enabled, the drop-down menus stop working.
I am not trying to cleverly include 2 problems in one thread. I think this may all be related. I’m not sure.

Coaching

I am grateful for a final resolution to this if there is one. Thank you.

Regards,
GeoVi

Bryant, you have no idea how happy I was to get your post. Thank you! I thought I was losing it. I’m still a novice at Joomla but was certain I had moved past some issues, like working with menus. It’s Kunena, ccBoard AND Agora Forums that I’m having the issue.

I will try this fix and report back to you. You’ve made me smile! 🙂

Regards,
GeoVi

And I will backup files…I have moved beyond that! *grin*

Ok, I tried it and it didn’t work. I posted in that thread for help and linked back to this one.

*sigh*

Enjoy the weekend. 🙂

Thanks again,
GeoVi

Sorry to hear that GeoVi… best of luck with resolving your issue… did you log a ‘ticket’ or ‘fault’ with joomlart? Not that that means you’re going to instant support… but you might get a response… also is your issue (the drop down one) just limited to forum sofware?

Just seems strange that there’s a few posts that mention issues with ‘forums’ and ‘mega menu’.

Log a fault…

Yes, the problem is only with Forum components. I agree, it is strange.

Thanks, I will see what happens. It takes longer to get support submitting tickets. Apologize for error with your name. I now see that it’s Bryant not Bryan.

I’m a bit exhausted working on ‘issues.’ A good weekend to you.

Kindest regards,
Avis (GeoVi)

Hello Avis,

I know its not a real solution for the MEGA menu problem, but in your case wouldnt it be a lot more easy switching to the css menu?

As from what i see you are not using the extra’s and features the MEGA menu brings, so it might be an idea to switch to css.

ps. Good thing about the backup *Grins*

Ben

Hey there and thanks!

I desire to use the Mega Menu features but J, for some strange reason, my brain is not connecting to do that. I would like to use the ‘columns’ and also the ‘registration’ feature in the mega menu but try as I might, I have been unable to follow the instructions in the video and here in the thread specifically for that. I simply don’t get it!

Also, I tried what you suggested and it didn’t work. I used the Moo and CSS menus, still same problem. It also moves the “forum” item to the next line and it’s not pretty. It overlaps with “Home” when underneath. *sigh* I tried making “forum” a submenu of “Blog” and same problem.

Methinks I think like you a wee bit. 🙂 Thanks, J.

Best regards,
Avis

That the forum drops to the line below is an easy fix:

Template.css file line 1116


#ja-mainnav {
float:left;
line-height:1;
padding:10px 0 0 120px;
position:relative;
z-index:9;
}


Change to:


#ja-mainnav {
float:left;
line-height:1;
padding:10px 0 0 0px;
position:relative;
z-index:9;
}


I dont know how to solve the mega menu problems (i have seen more issues with it) so for that you will have to wait for the JA staff to solve it. But now you can at least proceed with your site till its fixed.

Above worked before the changes you did just now to your menu…

The drop down menus still work in Kunena when using CSS menu but they don’t work when using Agora. So, I’m using Kunena. Thank you for the CSS fix to keep main menu on one line. That worked smoothly. 🙂

I’ll wait to see what Support does to solve the issue. Thanks a million, Ben!

About the menu being below the logo, this is because you have made your logo quite big and wide what so that the menu moves down.

But since your logo is rather wide i would personally prefer it above the logo instead of below.

I would recommend limit the space between the menu and the logo tho.

to:

templace.css line 1069

from:


h1.logo {
height:253px;
margin:0;
width:475px;
}


to:


h1.logo {
height:195px;
margin:0;
width:475px;
}


That will make it look like the attachment (inclusive the menu change)

It sure did. I didn’t notice the attachment until after I had made the changes. I have been debating removing everything to the right of image and logo so that it won’t be as wide. I prefer having the image above, too.

I need to learn not to work on this when I get tired. I have mastered “backup” first. You’re always a wealth of info and assistance, J. Thanks SO very. I appreciate the assistance I get when I come here….it’s not always immediate but I honestly don’t have a complaint. Submitting tickets are a different matter.

You and Bryant have helped to brighten my mood. I’ll crop that logo over the weekend. 🙂

Best,
Avis

It has been fixed (and I have tested it to be 100% sure)

In the other thread the the file location was incorrectly types so I believe you were looking at the wrong file.

Open templates>js_rasite>js>ja.script.js

You will find

//Call noconflict if detect jquery
//Apply jquery.noConflict if jquery is enabled
if ($defined(window.jQuery) && $type(jQuery.noConflict)=='function') {
jQuery.noConflict();
jQuery.noConflict();
}


and change to

if(typeof(jQuery) != "undefined" && $===jQuery){
jQuery.noConflict();
}

As I said, I have tested it and it does indeed work. If you cannot find that file then something must be amis with your template folder. Download a fresh copy and replace the js folder. If you download a fresh copy from this site it will already have the fix applied.

What is happening is both JA and Kunena are attempting to run the same script. The first edit I provided in the other thread (editing Kunena) simply stops that fron the Kunena side. The fix later applied to the template by the JA team is better as it prevents the same from the template side.

Phil, I did not provide “all” of the info. I am using JA-Hailite not Rasite. I didn’t find the code in that file. It said “template” above so I thought it was relative to all current JA templates.

Do you advise downloading a new template file ad replace .js file for JA Hailite?

Thank YOU so much!

Best,
Avis
